Ellington Farmers' Market Fall Harvest Drag Race, Live Music and 40 Vendors Saturday Sept. 26th 9-12

Join us for our first fall market and be a participant or spectator for our Fall Harvest Drag Race....that’s right folks, the race track is back!! Decorate your fall fruit or vegetable and take on the rest of the field...you might win a prize!! Glenn Roth will be on hand with fingers flying on his guitar; bring your lawn chair and watch the race and listen to some music before you fill your bag or basket with fresh fruits and veggies from the abundance that our vendors still have available. See you Saturday from 9 to noon at Arbor Park.

Underground” sensation, Glenn is a licensed performer in the MTA’s “Music under New York” program, playing for the most distracted and demanding audience in the world. Glenn is a fingerstyle guitarist, his thumb riding the bassline and the melody driving all. His compositions suggest multiple guitars, but it’s really just one guy, ten flying fingers, one instrument. All instrumental, Glenn’s songs suggest moods and narratives that compel the listener to fill in the details.
